LC Collateral Account. Each Borrower agrees that it will establish on the Revolving Facility Termination Date (or on such earlier date as may be required pursuant to [Section 8.1]), and thereafter maintain so long as any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower is outstanding or any amount is payable to any Issuer or the Revolving Lenders in respect of any such Letter of Credit, a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each an “LC Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to [Article XIII], in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, and in which such Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in [Section 8.1].

If funds are deposited in an LC Collateral Account pursuant to [Section 2.7.3 or 2.7.4]4] and the provisions of [Section 8.1] are not applicable, then the Administrative Agent shall release from the LC Collateral Account to the applicable Borrower, upon the expiration or termination of, or any reduction in the amount available under, any applicable Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of all funds in such LC Collateral Account over the LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower.

Cash Collateralization. If the Borrower is required to deposit cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.07(c), 2.09 or 7.022], it will establish on or prior to such date, and thereafter maintain so long as any Letter of Credit is outstanding or any amount is payable to any Issuing Bank or the Lenders in respect of any Letter of Credit, a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “LC Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Section 9.01, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of JPMorgan having a maturity not exceeding 30 days.

If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.09, such amount shall be returned to the Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Total Credit Exposure would not exceed the Credit Limit and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Administrative Agent agrees that when all Secured Obligations have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated, the Administrative Agent will deliver all remaining funds in the LC Collateral Account to the Borrower (or such other Person as is entitled thereto under applicable Requirements of Law). If the Administrative Agent determines that any Person other than the Borrower is entitled to such remaining funds, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to give the Borrower notice of such determination in advance of delivering such funds to any other Person, but the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for the failure to deliver such notice.

All amounts prepaid pursuant to subsection # above shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application by the Administrative Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter made by the L/C Issuer, and to the payment of the unpaid balance of all other Secured Obligations. The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer. If and when requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less, provided that the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from the Borrower to the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Subject to the terms of [Sections 2.14 and 2.15]5], if the Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection # above required under [Section 2.09(b)], at the request of the Borrower the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower amounts held in the Collateral Account so long as at the time of the release and after giving effect thereto no Default exists. After all Letters of Credit have expired or been cancelled and the expiration or termination of all Revolving Credit Commitments, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall release any remaining amounts held in the Collateral Account following payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations.
